On November 22, 2014, Officer Timothy Loehmann shot and killed 12-year-old Tamir Rice at a Cleveland park. Police had responded to a 911 call about someone pointing a gun; Tamir was holding a toy. The set includes a park bench, police cruiser mid-roll, two officers, and one smaller figure. There was no warning, no pause—just arrival and action.
